Description
Hello friends, I have been volunteering since 2004, year around . Travelling , working , sharing and learning, enjoying life and different cultures in many places in the world. It has become a life style. I am strong, in good health and love to work and care about it.
I found out (having been a host as well) ,that longer stays are better. I am looking forward to meet good people and give a hand with your projects.
Working with plants and animals in the great outdoors is number one on my list
and every thing else is also good.
A generalist not a specialist, I am thankful to have a fairly wide practical experience
and to happily share it.
Best wishes Michel -
